Antivirus companies discovered a fifth version of the Sasser variant this weekend, within hours of German police arresting an 18-year-old man who confessed to being the Sasser worm's author.

A new version of the Sasser worm has appeared after the arrest of a teenager suspected of writing the original - but it will not be much of a threat to users who have already patched their systems.
The Sasser worms continued to wriggle into computers on Tuesday, hitting home users hard while affecting companies to a lesser degree than previous attacks, security experts said.
